Why this is a perfect summer recipe
These strawberry basil fruit rolls deliver that childhood nostalgia of our favorite fruit leather snacks. Fresh basil only enhances the natural sweetness of the strawberry, creating a bright and vibrant flavor.
This strawberry fruit leather is so easy to make. Whether you have a dehydrator or just an oven, this recipe has instructions for both. I don't have a dehydrator anymore, but this recipe was made with the dehydrator I used back then.
If this flavor is intriguing, you will love peanut butter banana fruit leather. See our snack recipes and find your favorites.
How to dehydrate in an oven
When I first made this strawberry basil fruit leather in 2011, it was made in a dehydrator. If you do not have a dehydrator, you can still make recipes like this one and my peanut butter banana fruit leather.
Set the oven to the lowest temperature setting and "dehydrate" in the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the fruit mixture in the same even layer, and bake at the lowest temperature for 4 - 5 hours. Both of my ovens have a low temperature of 170°F.
Different ovens make take different times, I watch closely after a couple / few hours.
How long do strawberry basil fruit rolls last?
My rule for maximum flavor and freshness is to enjoy this recipe within three days.
Store in a glass container with a tightly fitting lid.

This post reminds me of the Ronco Food Dehydrator infomercials that I would watch with my sister - he makes homemade fruit roll ups and we wanted to buy the machine just to make them (well, and banana chips too)
